    4. Deception of appearances (fair is foul an foul is fair)
    5. Blood imagery
    6. Babies and children
    7. Disruption of natural order (sleep, great chain of being)

2. Review DQ's 1-8; remember all DQ's are due tomorrow and should be notes that address and support your analysis with reference to direct quotes/scenes. Remember that all parts of the questions should be addressed! Be prepared to share on block day. Groups will be asked to present their findings on one randomly assigned DQ to the class.

3. Finish questions from yesterday to discuss and answer the following study guide questions from Act IV and V in your groups:

Act IV:
  1. In reaction to the news that Lady Macbeth is dead, Macbeth delivers his most famous soliloquy. What does it mean?
  2. What does Macbeth recognize and how does it fit in with the "fair is foul" theme?
  3. As bad as things look for Macbeth, why does he still scorn all his opponents?
  4. What is the meaning of Siward's statement that Macbeth's men "on both sides do fight"?

Act V:
  1. What information does Macduff tell Macbeth that makes him frightened ("Cow'd my better part")?
  2. What is Macbeth’s response?
  3. Why does he quickly change his mind about fighting?
  4. On what note does the play end?
  5. List the themes of Macbeth; what does Shakespeare want us to understand? What scenes/evidence supports it?
